The references, and most of the content is about Koffi Olomide. Rathfelder (talk) 22:02, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

- Strong delete. I nearly deleted this under WP:CSD#A10 but then noticed those blasted words "recently created", and this unfinished copypasta draft has been around for SIX YEARS since the text was copied verbatim from Koffi Olomide... time to finally get rid of it. – filelakeshoe (t / c) 🐱 22:17, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

- Comment: I removed the content and references which were copied from the Koffi Olomide article. This didn't leave a lot. I have added a reference to a film whose script was written by the subject, which at least provides some verification of the "film maker" claim in the text, but falls short of demonstrating WP:CREATIVE notability.

- Delete: Once the material about someone else is removed, this becomes a barely-referenced Infobox in search of an article. Some traces of coverage of the subject can be found: a 2004 post mentioning Atlanta and Auburn University, a 2013 blog post, and mentions of the film I referenced above, but unless anyone is able to locate better and rewrite from scratch, there is nothing to demonstrate attained biographical notability.

- Delete - This is odd to say the least. Until recent cleanup by the folks above, this article was entirely about Koffi Olomide and I can find no evidence that the two performers are even connected, except for being Congolese. I can find no reliable coverage of Soleil Diva/Marie Solo beyond mirrors of the old versions of this article and lists of musicians of Congolese extraction created from that same mirrored info. The Internet also thinks that Soleil Diva was born in both 1956 (Olomide's birth year) and 1975. This article reflects a clumsy mistake or a particularly inept attempt at self promotion. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:26, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
